LINUX

Linux provides set-top boxes with unmatched customization, performance optimization, security, and cost-effectiveness, all without vendor lock-in or bloatware.

OVERVIEW

Your software of choice

Linux provides a robust, flexible, and cost-effective platform for delivering digital content to televisions. Its ability to be tailored to specific needs and its strong security features make it the ideal choice for device manufacturers.

If Linux is your software of choice, Vantiva is your go-to supplier for the design, development, and manufacture of your set-top boxes (STBs).

Unmatched customization and freedom

Linux offers complete control over the operating system, enabling developers to customize every aspect of a STB’s functionality. This allows for the creation of a lightweight system with only the necessary components, resulting in better performance and reduced resource consumption. Additionally, Linux provides the flexibility to use any software, services, or middleware without restrictions or mandatory integrations, making it ideal for companies looking to avoid dependencies on third-party platforms.

Efficiency & Optimization

Linux can be stripped down to its bare essentials, making it highly efficient in terms of memory and CPU usage — crucial for low-power devices where performance is critical. Its ability to be precisely optimized for specific hardware results in better performance and more efficient use of the device’s capabilities compared to more generalized systems.

Robust security & stability

Linux is renowned for its strong security model, making it an ideal choice for STBs in environments where data privacy and protection are critical. It enables the implementation of custom security measures that might be difficult or less effective on other systems. Additionally, Linux is highly stable and less prone to crashes and bugs, avoiding the vulnerabilities and instability that can arise from the additional layers of software and services found in more complex systems.

Cost-effective and community-driven

Providing a consistent, reliable experience for subscribers is essential. Quality of Experience and Customer Support analytics enable operators to identify the technical performance and usage of the STB. These analytics provide information such as Wi-Fi® usage and strength, boot time, Internet network loss, STB hardware and software details, security parameters, and more.
